Locked away in the castle of your mind,

Award-winning actor Nicholas Cage -
“Cappola” he was born with. “Cage” is for stage!
He made a quest to find the Holy Grail.
No news of that; it must have been a fail....

wind carries the cries
of lost souls departed hence.
Claimed in the white foam
of a turbulent spring tide....

St. Nicholas was a right merry ol’ soul
Making children happy was his entire life's goal,
With a pack full of toys
For all good girls and boys
For centuries, his dedication we extol.

Spaghetti

The meat, 
the cheese,
the sauce.

The smiles,
the laughs,
the wine.

The music, 
the song, 
the moment... 

The vow of forever!

Then...

You and I, 
and the garlic bread!

Its always at this time of year
That you let us know of your fear
You refuse to listen
To Donner und Blitzen*
Although it is only rain, dear!

COMMUNION
                                 (for Frieda and Nicholas Hughes)

two pieces of buttered bread.
two glasses of ice cold milk.

communion for the children
locked inside the apartment

of a dead poet.

Hair so red
Locks like fire
Nicholas is here
Growing desire

He laughs so loud
But so soft spoken
Leaves my class
Forever broken

Wait five days
Can hardly stand it
Show him memes
I'm reprimanded

Kill the teacher
Hide the body
Back to Nick
Total hottie...

Sadness, overwhelming, to come to grips
with such an unpleasant reality
such as this.

To realize, my prince, I was not
your first wish, albeit your first kiss.

I should be sadder, I admit, but it's no surprise
to me, I am not the first to gaze lovingly into
your olive green eyes....

On the  twelfth  day of Christmas
 St. Nicholas  gave to meeee

Twelve pizza pies
Eleven pigs in a sty...

Ten hooting  owls
Nine golden fowls

Eight barking dogs
Seven leaping frogs

Six poets dancing
Five reindeer prancing

Four bottles of rum...
Three sets of drums 

Two stinging bees....
And a unicorn   just for PD

Dear Nicholas,

     I write to you as I wonder
what delights I have to ponder
a gift that was given unto me
that has blessed me more than the eye can see
you stole me away from fear
and held me until I was near
the whispered thoughts only for me
are what you want to be 
I wish to never lose this
or I will be left in abyss....

I'm still trying to catch up
loving the way you make me feel
I need to sit back
and take in all that I have
all that I want with you
Every night I go home
I feel that I was in a dream
but I need to look closer
at what I see
I see how you love me
and I can't help but smile
Please don't let me forget
but look deeper and remember 
the way you look at me...
